The complete chloroplast genome of Cryptomeria japonica var. sinensis (Cupressaceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Cryptomeria japonica var. sinensis Miquel was assembled and analyzed. The chloroplast genome of C. japonica var. sinensis Miquel did not have a typical quadripartite structure with the inverted repeats (IR) absent, and the size of C. japonica var. sinensis is 131,412 bp. The overall GC content was 35.4%. The genome encoded a set of 119 genes, containing 83 protein-coding genes, 32 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenomic analysis indicated that C. japonica var. sinensis is sister to C. japonica (Thunb. ex L. f.) D. Don.
